Q

How do I start playing?

A

Starting to play is a quick and simple 3-step process.

Step One
Sign up by clicking the Sign Up button or the Play button in any lottery. At this step you will need to list your email and choose a password. Make sure you choose a strong password to protect your account.

Step Two
Fill in additional personal details. You will be asked to list your name, birthday, full address, and phone number. We need this information because we are required to perform due diligence on our customers.

At this stage, you can limit the amount you can deposit within a set period of time. (This can be changed later). And finally, you must confirm that you are over 18 years of age and have read and accept our Terms of Use.

Step Three
Associate a payment method with your account so that you can fund your lottery play. You will be shown the payment methods available in your region and you can choose the one you prefer. Fill in the information required by your specific payment method.

After completing these 3 steps, you’re ready to play!
